Featuring a welterweight headliner between Demian Maia and Jake Shields, UFC Fight Night 29 takes place Wednesday, Oct. 9, at Jose Correa Arena in Barueri, Sao Paulo, Brazil. The evening’s main card airs on FOX Sports 1, though the night’s bout order has not yet been determined.

Alcantara, brother of bantamweight contender Yuri Alcantara, fights for the third time under the UFC banner. After taking a short-notice fight against Wagner Prado at 205 pounds, Alcantara has since dropped down to his more natural division at welterweight and currently boasts a nine-fight win streak.

Araujo was a cast member on “The Ultimate Fighter 16,” where he fought for Shane Carwin‘s team. Aruajo was eliminated in the quarterfinal round by eventual winner Colton Smith. Araujo wasn’t immediately invited to the UFC and picked up a recent win over Nic Herron-Webb in a fight for California’s Flawless Fighting Championship organization.

Brazilian Patrick has been fighting professionally since 2008, appearing most recently under the Bitetti Combat banner. “Nuguette” is perfect through his first 10 professional contests with three of his wins coming by knockout and two by submission.

Meanwhile, Whiteley hails from Indiana and also sports a perfect professional record. All five of his wins have come by submission, including four fights that were finished in the very first round.
